LIVE Blog: 2008 SAG Awards

CAROLINE: OK, you know I think this awards show is very self-serving. RYAN: You do think that; however, it’s a fun show where the actors get to support each other. And at this point, where we missed a Golden Globes show, I’m all for the SAGs! CAROLINE: I’ll accept that. But the whole introduction of ..

UNTRACEABLE

RYAN: Diane Lane’s latest film offering “Untraceable” could also be titled “Silence of the Lambs 2.” CAROLINE: Given that there have been several sequels and prequels to that movie, I think we’d have to call it “Silence of the Lambs 6.” Not that it’s anywhere near the quality of “Silence of the Lambs,” but it ..

MAD MONEY

RYAN: “Mad Money” brings Mrs. Tom Cruise back to the silver screen at long last. CAROLINE: Oh, how we’ve been waiting! Welcome back, Kate.

CLOVERFIELD

CAROLINE: The much-anticipated “Cloverfield” is in theaters and kicking major ass in the box office. But one wonders – will it have legs? RYAN: I like that you said that because it reminds me of your gorgeous legs. This movie is executive produced by J.J. Abrams, who we love because he created “Alias.” It’s a ..

New on DVD

CAROLINE: Apparently the rule of generally bad films coming out in January also applies to DVD releases. Today we have “The Game Plan” starring The Rock and some little girl who may or may not ever work again in Hollywood. RYAN: Neither of us could be bothered to see this film in the theater, and ..

Movie News!

CAROLINE: Oliver Stone has announced his latest presidential movie and you’re not going to believe whose life he’s documenting this time! RYAN: OMG is it Bill Clinton? CAROLINE: You might think… but it’s actually our current president/laughingstock George Dubya himself. RYAN: Seriously? I never would have guessed! CAROLINE: And even better? Josh Brolin, hot off ..

TEETH

RYAN: One of my all-time favorite lines from “Ally McBeal” is when Ling says to Ally, “What’s her problem?” and Jane Krakowski’s Elaine says, “Her gynecologist must have pulled the wrong tooth.” CAROLINE: This isn’t about “Ally McBeal,” it’s about the new movie “Teeth,” and it is indeed about a chick whose vajayjay has teeth. ..

27 DRESSES

RYAN: As hard as this may be for you to believe, I don’t own even one dress. But I did love “27 Dresses.” CAROLINE: I was highly anticipating this film because it’s a romantic comedy/chick flick starring Katherine Heigl. What more do I need? RYAN: Throw James Marsden into the mix and I’m there. CAROLINE: ..

CASSANDRA’S DREAM

RYAN: Woody Allen’s 2007 offering is “Cassandra’s Dream,” starring my Hollywood husband, Ewan McGregor. CAROLINE: And Colin Farrell as his brother. It’s nice to see him on the big screen again. We haven’t seen him in anything since “Miami Vice.” Welcome back to Hollywood, Colin. RYAN: They had great onscreen chemistry as brothers. Colin had ..
